Hello,
Welcome to the Safe Haven Parrot Sanctuary,Inc
We are located in Southeastern Indiana, on 10 county acres. We currently house over 100 parrots of all shapes and sizes, in a climate controled building
A SECOND CHANCE
In many cases, peoples' lives change, they marry, divorce, have
children, grow old, or become ill. No thought is given to what
happens to their companion parrots.
The average length of time that a parrot spends with a family is
between five and eight years. Considering that
some of the larger parrots can live upwards of 80 years, over time,
parrots can live in many homes. Some parrots become resentful of
being bounced from home to home and they misbehave. Before long,
no alternative exists but to kill perfectly healthy parrots because there
is no loving and/or understanding home, or shelter to take them in.
We as a civilized society must assure that these magnificent creatures
have a suitable place to live out their lives. Homelessness should not
equate to death.
Help us spread the word regarding proper bird care and responsible parrot ownership.
You can do this by referring people to our website who are thinking about acquiring their first bird. Encourage them to research FIRST.
If you are a student, do a school project on the topic of unwanted pets. Make the public aware of this growing problem. The animals deserve so much more.
Volunteer your time helping. If you are not in Indiana but wish to volunteer your time, contact an avian rescue in your state to see if they are in need of volunteers.
